Advantages: Smells great, lasts well Disadvantages: Quite intense
...red box with the traditional Givenchy patterned edging in yellow, green and blue. I always keep my perfume boxes as it helps to keep the perfume from going off if it’s kept in the dark. This one adds a daring splash of colour to my dressing table and the glossy finish reeks of luxury and pampering. The rounded, tear drop shaped bottle is a clear glass affair with a frosted panel on the front and feels lovely and chunky in your hand. The lid reminds ... ...over the gold coloured spray thingy.
Ten years on I’m still a big fan of Amarige and obviously it holds special memories for me, being my first foray into the world of perfume counters and testers. My collection may be much bigger now but I still love to wear this enriching fragrance. I just don’t put quite so much on now.
Thanks for reading. A x ...

Advantages: great smell, staying power, not too strong Disadvantages: none I can think of
I am not someone who usually buys perfume right away without going round asking for samples to see if I like the fragrance. Usually inside magazines you can find the scented strips while you either peel off or open up and then you can test the perfume. I was inside a big Department store, I think it was the House of Fraser when I stopped and came accross the perfume counters. I thought to myself that I hadn't bought perfume in a while so decided ... ...After lots of sprays I finally stopped and when I took off the posh misty glass top which was in a lovely shape which reminded me of a sea shell but this was also what attracted my attention. Anyway carrying on from before "when I took off the posh misty glass top" I sprayed it into the air and I loved the smell it wasn't too strong but one that attracts noses. It oozed expensive and I love to have things that don't look cheap and affordable and ...

Advantages: Lovely perfume for both day and night Disadvantages: Too much perfume comes out when sprayed
I first smelt this perfume on a co-worker and just HAD to have it!!
It is a lovely fruity scent which is light enough for day use but also deep enough for evening.....My boyfriend adores it and I have been asked time and time again what the name of it is....
It is a bit pricey, but it definitely makes up for the price.....Unlike some other perfumes which can be a bit cloying, this perfume is sweet and lingering but not overpowering.....It has excellent ... ...I am quite a collector of perfumes, but I would have to say this is one of my top two perfumes.....
Another good thing about it, is that is smells different on each person, so even if you have it, you can still get it for a friend without you both smelling the same!!
If it is only one perfume you were going to have, i would say this one would be an excellent choice.... ...

This is what I would call a very classy scent. I orginally bought it for my mum, but found myself stealing into her bedroom and spraying it on myself. The scent itself is fairly strong but definately not overpowering or unpleasant. It is, however, quite a heavy perfume, and I suggest if you are trying it for the first time, only spray a little on yourself as it tends to linger all day and night! (just in case you don't like it!).... I wouldn't call ...

Advantages: The Fragrance lasts all day and all night Disadvantages: None
I first smelt this perfume on a friend and thought it was a really nice fragrance and it was one of those perfumes where people know your wearing it as I can’t stand to put a perfume on and other people not to be able to smell that your wearing perfume. This perfume is very classy and fairly strong but not overpowering. I’d describe this fragrance as sweet and fruity. It’s more for evenings out and special occasions rather than ... ...all night. This perfume is quite expensive starting from £17.00 for only a 30ml bottle. You can buy it at Boots, Argos, Index, The Perfume Shop and other places. It comes in 30ml and 50ml probably other sizes as well.
The bottle it’s self is a great neat little bottle with a frosted lid the bottle is shaped like a teardrop and is very flat and smooth. It comes in a lovely bright red box. So if you like sweet and fairly strong fragrances this ...

...of the scents made by Givenchy and didn't know anyone who rated then as worth trying.
So I suppose the gift was the perfect chance to try it.
It is a fairly heavy scent with musky, oriental undertones, but it really is a fresh, invigorating perfume that I really enjoyed wearing.
It lasted well and people commented on how nice it smelt which always help me decide whether or not I like something to buy it again.
The gift set comprised of the perfume ...

Givenchy is known around the world for making wonderful fragrances. Amarige is a lovely fruity scent which is light enough for day use but also classic enough for evening.
Another good thing about it like quite a lot of other perfumes, is that is smells different on each person, so even if you have it, you can still get it for a friend without you both smelling the same!!
The perfume also lasts along time so you will not have to be constantly re-spraying. ...

Review of Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette Spray
Advantages: great smell, good value Disadvantages: none
Amarige is one of the nicest perfumes by Givenchy. It's got a nice, distinctive fragrance that's not too heavy, is recognisable, but won't leave a vapour trail behind you as it's not that strong.
It's ideal for any occasion, either during the day or the evening as it has a nice light perfume.
It's reasonably priced at usually under £20 for the smaller bottle, and is available at pretty much any retail outlet that sells perfume.
It's great for ...

Review of Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette Spray
Advantages: excellent perfume Disadvantages: none that I have found
Amarige by Givenchy is a wonderful perfume which gives a light but lingering scent.It is not a perfume that fills the room and is still there long after the wearer has left. Its ideal for both day and night use. If I had to give up all my perfumes bar one- it would be this one that i would keep. It is fairly reasonable priced - better still if you can get it duty free! It is well packaged and has a nice bottle. It's a perfume that would suit a wide ...

Advantages: Another good perfume from Givenchy. Disadvantages: Nothing I can think of.
Being a Givenchy fan, I bought myself a bottle of the Givenchy Amarige perfume. This is a perfume with a difference, the scent is quite hard to describe, quite floral but at the same time quite woody, it is a totally different scent to the Givenchy Ysatis which I wear quite often, but this perfume gets another thumbs up from me in the Givenchy range. The bottle is very attractive and differently designed, one thing about Givenchy is that their perfume ...

Advantages: Smells great, long lasting fragrance, not too expensive Disadvantages: none I can think of
The first time I tried this perfume my mum had just got back from France and I had asked her to buy me some posh sent. The beautiful, Floral and woody sent filled my bedroom as i sat in front of the mirror and drenched myself in this heavenly smelling fragrance. Ever since that time, 8 years ago I have bought this fragrance every opportunity I get. I like this fragrance because it has a really nice smell, it is presented well in it's oval shaped ... ...off it is fairly cheap considering some other brands of EDT you can buy these days. Launched first in 1991, this fragrance can be worn by people of any age as I first had a bottle at 13 and I know middle aged women who now wear it, it smells expensive but it's not to overpowering. You can imagine it is a smell that turns heads as you walk past as it is quite intense and very sweet. I don't often buy expensive perfumes, I normally go and try a lot ...

Advantages: long lasting Disadvantages: can be a bit too over bearing and strong
This perfume was a gift given to me when I was 17, and I thought it was too overbearing and powerful. Although this producers other perfumes are ok this was one which disappointed me. Although you can get this cheap at £17 at some places it's not worth getting as a gift because it might be unwanted. The packaging is very attractive but it smells very cheap. Even though I did'nt like it a few family members tried it and bought themselves a couple ... ...bottle looks vey nice like a teardrop and the overall packaging is great it's just that this perfume was not for me, but if you like to be noticed and are not bothered with smelling very flowery and sweet than this would be perfect for you. But I wouldn't recommend giving this as a christmas gift because there's no guarantee it will be liked. ...

Although I possess a lot of perfume this is one of my favorites. My mum had this perfume and I loved it so much that I bought it.
This is a really delicious fragrance which I personally feel is suited to special occasions and evenings out only. Although it is a fairly light fragrance it is very sophisticated and classy and too heavy for day wear.
The perfume is quite expensive but you are paying for more than just the label, it has excellent staying ...

Advantages: quite reasonably priced a little goes a long way Disadvantages: Not all perfumes smell the same on different people but that's not Givenchy's fault
This perfume first came to my attention a couple of years ago when it was worn, at Christmas, by my son's ex girlfriend. She had an aura of elegance and class and Amarige, which she was wearing that day, personified this.
Unfortunately perfumes usually change on me and I tend to stick to tried and tested makes like Christian Dior and Hermes, but I really wanted to try Amarige out and luckily it did not react to my skin.
It is suitable for young ... ...too impressed with it - it's too refined and perhaps not very natural.
A little goes a long way so don't be too heavy-handed with this perfume. One light spray will stay all day (there's good wording for an advert - perhaps I'll suggest it).
Perfume is of course a very personal thing. Wearing Amarige makes me feel exclusive and classy - indeed I tend to match my outfit and hairstyle to it.
Others have passed favourable comments when I've worn ...
